Hello Charlie,Wasn't 9.0-9.1 the time of the big version change in gcc? That could be the source of your problems - if so, it's a rare event. Other incompatibilities sometimes occur because of updated libraries, though _sometimes_ you can get round them by using the nodeps option when installing.

I got 9.0 in a box when 9.1 was just coming out. After a period of
learning, I tried to get some additional programs for 9.0, but
found almost all were for 9.1, and some did NOT work with 9.0. It
was as though the 9.0 code had dried up and blown away.
CM> What code? What programs?
Don't remember all of them now, but included Office, Opera, Sylpheed, Pan, Octave, Gnucash, and many others.
You can nearly always find older versions on rpmfind.net .
